Default VBA shell command - issues...


The VBA shell command is as follows:

programPath = "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" '
works
'programPath = "iexplore.exe" ' does not work
Shell programPath + " " + fileToLaunch, vbNormalFocus

but the drawback is that the invoked program (iexplore.exe, at least in
my case) needs to have the FULL PATH to where the program exists = the
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer" which may or may not work on
someone elses computer. This hardcoding will not work and is not
transportable.

Is there a trick to find where the executing program lives? or
launching it without the path?

Thanks,
